Chapter 41 Crossroads 

Finished 

There was a long pause before Chase reached out to take Wendy’s handonly for her to brush 

him off

He knew her too well. He’d said things like this more than once, and she would definitely be bothered by it

It was my fault,he said, but it’s still the truth.” 

Back at Cloud Hospital, the matter was finally settled

Under interrogation, the deceased man’s family admitted they were trying to scam money. The posts online had come from them toothey just hadn’t expected the backlash to get so out of control

Chase was given two days off. Still feeling guilty over upsetting Wendy in Townsville, he decided to make lunch and bring it to her at work

He hadn’t expected to see post after post online from people begging for forgiveness

Only then did he realize Wendy had preserved evidence of every hateful comment, every instigating postand had had legal notices sent out to all of them. Now those same people were all pleading for mercy, hoping Chase would be lenient

So Wendy had done all this

Chase felt regret creep in. He shouldn’t have said such hurtful things. Especially not after Wendy had flown across the country to defend himand he’d turned around and reminded her they were divorced

He prepared all her favorite dishes. Hopefully it would soften things a little

Wendy had been in backtoback meetings all morning and only just returned to her office around noon. She hadn’t even taken a sip of water when she was informed that Henry was already waiting in the lounge

What’s he doing here?Wendy’s irritation flared the moment she heard Henry’s name

Sammy reminded her, You forgot? The Harrison family had him take over as general manager at their entertainment company. He’s in charge of negotiating the endorsement deal for our jewelry line.” 

Wendy sighed and rubbed her temples. She had forgotten

Chase had completely gotten to her

Their night in Townsville hadn’t ended well. Chase went back to his dorm, and she stewed in

online frenzy and paid for the botswas Henry

Finisnec 

Sammy had traced it fast. Before Henry could clear his name, his involvement had already been uncovered

Still, Wendy decided to play it cool

Got it. I’ll head over.” 

When Chase arrived at Quinn Group, the receptionist recognized him and sent him straight up to the executive floor

Wendy and Henry were still in the lounge, Sammy with them. The receptionist notified Maggie. who answered the call

Sir.Maggie’s short hair and cleancut style gave her a sharp look. She wore tailored slacks and heels, her red lipstick just the right shade

Chase smiled. Hello, I’m here to bring Wendy lunch.” 

Maggie instinctively glanced toward the lounge before quickly looking away. Please wait in her 

ollice.” 

Naturally, the executive office was luxurious and full of natural light

Chase laid out the lunch on a small table and even brewed a pot of tea for her

Inside the lounge, Wendy and Henry were all smiles on the surfacebut undercurrents surged beneath

Just the entrylevel line? Wendy, come on. That’s not fair. I thought you’d give me the highend line. This is my first project since coming back into the family,” Henry said, trying to sound aggrieved but clearly dissatisfied

Greedy, as always

Wendy sneered internally but kept her face unreadable

Henry, you know perfectly wellthe Harrison family’s entertainment company isn’t even top- tier in the industry. Meanwhile, Quinn Group’s jewelry ranks top five globally. I’m at businesswoman. Giving you the entry line is already generous. The luxury tier was assigned a long time ago.” 

Seeing her displeasure, Henry tried to recover. That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to do something impressive to help you. But if that’s the arrangement, then I’ll go with it.” 

They were just confirming some details todaynot signing anything. Wendy wasn’t in 

Do you have a lunch meeting? If not, let me take you out,Henry offered with a smile

any rush

Chapter 41 Crossroads 

Sir is here. He brought you lunch. He’s waiting in your office.” 

Chase is here

Wendy’s eyes lit up

So he finally gave in. She was pleased

But with Henry right there, she had to play her part. She frowned and muttered. Why’s he here again?” 

Of course. Henry wanted to seem understanding. He quickly reached out to soothe her. Don’t get upset. This is all business, right? Might as well keep up appearancesno need to let the shareholders see through things. Go ahead. I’ll head out first.” 

He picked up his laptop and left

Wendy didn’t go back to her office right away

How’s the search going? The woman who didn’t show up that daywhere did she go?” 

Down the hall, just as the elevator doors closed on Henry’s retreating figure, Wendy’s expression turned cold

She had expected drama. Joy’s biological mother would have shown up to stir trouble. But Wendy had waited until the banquet endedand still, the woman never appeared

Only after checking with Dawn did she learn the woman had indeed left the hotel that day. But where she’d gone.. no one knew

Now someone had vanished right under their noses: And they needed to find herfast

We’re still looking.” Sammy replied, keeping her voice low, afraid of setting Wendy off. She must’ve realized Henry was going to make a move. That’s probably why she fled that day. As long as she’s alive, we’ll find her.” 

Wendy stood at the door, gazing toward her office, fingers twitching slightly

Make it fast. A dead woman’s no use to us.”
